“I’d just like to thank everyone – the fans, the club and the staff – for supporting me since Roy [Hodgson] has come in.
“He’s been really good to me and putting me into positions where I can express myself and feel more comfortable. He gives me the freedom to express myself and as a player that’s all you can ask for.
“Every game I try to tell myself that I need to be efficient and make something happen. At the moment, things are going well. It’s still the start of the season, there are still a lot of games to go, and hopefully it’ll continue.”
